Jehst - Remembrance lyrics

"The day he died was Sunday we
Were sitting around the television
And the program was interrupted the announcer
Said that he had been shot
We looked at each other, there
Was not much to say, we had been unable to
Save him we felt guilty about that and
We were a bit apprehensive too
Because we knew that there was
An eerie quiet in
The community which might explode
At any moment

But that afternoon, as the Sun went down
As we walked the streets and the
Lights came on everybody looked

We shook hands, we talked
And we remembered but we
Knew then that somebody
Greatly important to all of us was gone
And he wouldn't be back again"

"You know, the news of
His death, just, actually
Split me open right away
I thought that, actually
That was a declaration
Of war we gotta pay him back, you know"

"I felt that people seemed edgy that day by
The time we got there, I think
Half of the hall was
Filled but we did get seats then
While everybody's eyes
Were fixed on the two men in the middle, the
Shotgun blast went off at that
Time there was utter chaos
People were screaming and hitting
The floor you could
Hear all the chairs coming down but, I saw a
Brother run up the stage, so I thought, 'Oh
I'll follow him' and see if
I can get to Billy'"
